Info on F series diff ratios above 4.3

[FAST EDDIE]

What came with a higher ratio than 4.3 in a F series diff?
I already have 4:3 gears and wanna go higher cos im having gearbox issues and wanna use 3rd not 2nd.

If TRD did make it, you could find it yourself.

Hey Eddie, you can get 4.556 from the front diff of some hilux surfs, or 4.778 from the rear diff of a diesel 4wd townace import only)

the higher ratios usually come in the front of hiluxs. i have also seen 4.6 in a yr22.

3rd number will be 2,3,4 or 5. 2 is open (no lsd) with 2 spider gears in the differential. 3 is 2 spider, with lsd (some ma61 supras) 4 is 4 spider gear open, 5 is 4 spider gear with lsd.

stock adm ae86 s312
stock adm t18 t302 early t312 late
stock jdm ae86 t282 or t283 if it has factory lsd.
stock ta22 t292 mostly (4.1 ratio)

also in every case so far that i have found, an irs ring and pinion will work in a live axle diff and vice versa.

[FAST EDDIE]

Cheers for that Ant im guessing it will be the turb diesel version surf?

[FAST EDDIE]

wow thats some serious figures thanks slydar, i didnt quite understnad all that so correct me if im wrong haha realy appreciate all your help!!!!

if im lookin at the hilux surf plate and seeing F4.5 then whatever number depending on lsd or open i should be on a winner?

[FAST EDDIE]

and how do i physicaly know what ratio the diff is by looking at it and counting teeth im guessing?
